About Us :
The establishment of the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties dates back to 1952 when Societies Ordinance became the legal regime that governed political parties.
This law came into operation at the beginning of the declaration of the state of emergency by the colonial authorities in Kenya.
Like all other ordinances in 1968, this legislation was transformed into an Act of parliament without even the slightest alteration to its provisions becoming the Societies Act (Cap.108) which provided for the registration of societies.
The administration of the societies under the aforementioned Act was vested under the Registrar of Societies.
Political parties were therefore registered under this legislation with the same legal status as other organizations such as funeral clubs, professional associations, welfare societies, women groups, among others.
